TSR Christian Society (X-SOC) Episode IV: A New Hope

What kind of church are you after? I had friends at St Ebbes and St Aldates which are both young and vibrant but not necessarily what you're looking for...

Apparently not!

Despite being the second-largest denomination... I suppose it's because most Orthodox peeps live in eastern Europe/the Middle East/Russia etc.

Less than 24 hours and I'm in the plane back to the UK. Prayers please.

Also, what the heck does one do in Manchester on a Sunday for 5 hours?

I think it must be unoffical then as there's no reference on the site, hopefully they'll do a thing on Fresher's week to explain what's available as I could see myself getting along quite nicely in a Catholic society Many thanks.

Here you go

Regarding CUs, I had a very interesting conversation with someone who used to be heavily involved in CU stuff here. It seems like a lot of the things people are unhappy with are actually things forced on CUs by the UCCF (the main body which gives out funding and resources to CUs). Apparently people have tried to raise the issue of the name 'Christian Union' with them before, and they were told that it was non-negotiable and any change of name would result in UCCF cutting off all their funding and disassociating themselves from the group in question (there was also some mention of UCCF renaming certain things as 'The True Christian Union'). The UCCF also requires all its CUs to have absolutely nothing to do with any chaplaincy groups in order to maintain their position as an non-denominational group. It's still all terrible in my opinion, but it's interesting to know that it comes from the central organisation, rather than it being something individual people in university CUs have decided.

It's so shiny.

AND THERE'S FREE FOOD *dies*. That is genuinely the best thing i've heard all week, many thanks!

... OHMYGOODNESSTHERE'SEVENAHILLWALKERSSOCIETY... AND ORGANISED STUDY NIGHTS. I've died and gone to heaven

Glad I could help

Also, I spotted that there was an interfaith position on the committee, which bodes well for a non-Catholic just joining in because it's the best that there is

There is no way i'm going to get any studying done at this rate ;__; Just had to go and choose a 35hr a week course.

Heh, I'm sure you'll manage to get some done. You can even go use their library

(There's a little bit of me wishing I could start uni again and go to Manchester...)

(But totally not really, because I adored Cathsoc in Durham )

I can fit it all in, i'll just sleep during lectures Nothing can go wrong with that plan.

I really want to go to Durham just to see the Cathedral, 'looks fantabulous.

Doitdoitdoti!
Durham is so beautiful

I've already been to Chester this week so we might as well up the history even more If you do ever get to go, the Chester Walls are a beaut of a walk complete with Cathedral and every resturant a human will ever desire <3

Of course lovely.

Why are you going to Manchester?

Hello everyone. Apologies for not posting for a while, I hope everyone is well on this Sunday morning
